Please answer the question in the title. I’d really like to know. I was recently in the hospital for a few days and was sad to see that although the subscriber numbers here kept increasing, nobody was posting any challenges. So Please tell me what is the point of a game if nobody wants to participate?

    Not everyone has, or wants to have the skills to use or learn AI tools. And as often is the case with niche communities, the people who post are often only a small percentile of the people reading/subscribing.

    This is not a bad thing. It’s just how it often is.

      Same here; would totally post things I could scrawl with a paint program.

        Why don’t you check out the welcome sticky Last worked hard writing. You guys asked for it and it eventually got here.

            What exactly does making friends have anything to do with supporting a community you enjoy by posting?

          OK, well, I just read through it. Seems very well-written; kudos to u/[email protected] for the care and effort. However I can affirm the suggestion in the comment posted by u/[email protected] in that I have no inclination to use AI tools, and nothing in the welcome sticky allows for that. Not a subscriber by the way, and haven’t asked for anything! Just saw your question come up when sorted all communities by new posts this morning.

      396 subscribers only 3 people post challenges? That’s not bad? Less than 1%?? Sadly that isn’t gonna keep a community running especially if my absence were longer than it was.

        I have a few communities. One with 700+ subscribers and I’m pretty much the only poster. It’s just how it is. Either accept that most people will not post, or abandon the project.
